Albert Einstein said: “Look deep, deep, into nature then you will understand everything better.”
There is something absolutely captivating about a pink rose. It is terribly difficult to describe the feeling in words. Today Bette Midler’s song “The Rose” came on the radio and I understood.
“…When the nights, have been too lonely, and the road, has been too long,
and you think, that love is only for the lucky, and the strong.
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow,
lies a seed that with the sun’s love, in the spring becomes the rose….”
Celebrating the life of a pink rose in the dead of winter is about celebrating hope. Hope for rebirth, hope for a future, hope for safety, new friends, love and a joy filled life. It is interesting to note that all it takes is one bloom of hope to create a spiritual garden.

Also, old fashioned printed novels are allowed, as are newspapers, however, each person must be conscious of our green policies and be responsible for their own clutter. Food and drink is provided with appropriate dress. (Please dress appropriately as we don’t want any of you comedians to scare off the wildlife). There is a pool we keep at 60 degrees for cooling off, if authentic conversation gets too hot for you. Reservations recommended. Book early.
Sometimes there are business issues that are so multifaceted that a ready-made solution is not so easily found. Preparing a list of pros and cons just doesn’t cut it. Well before throwing in the towel try turning everything upside down. I have discovered it is an interesting way to discover new pieces of a puzzle that previously were not visible. Solutions are not as far away as you think.
Martin Luther King attracted and inspired millions of followers. He is considered one of the world’s greatest leaders. His message was “I have a dream”. It was not “I have a plan”. When attacking a competitive marketplace it seems to me that as businesses we spend too much time planning, defining product features, working on countless spreadsheets, defining USPs, etc… To achieve a real breakthrough understanding what drives behavior to buy our products and services is key. Apple has been largely successful because they have determined that they are not just a computer company selling products with cool features. They are a computer company that has discovered their business fire. What fires your business?
